Private businesses pay big time taxes in Europe. If Google has offices in the UK, I don't see how it is free to use the OS data. I pray to God Carter Maslan will let my business back into Maps, and I will gladly give him and anyone else at GOOGLE permanent rights to my data. Any business who wants to stay in business would do the same IMHO. How is it “free” when the people of Britain own the government? Private businesses pay big time taxes in Europe.
